All bids must be submitted on forms furnished in the Contract Documents and be accompanied by a bidder's bond or a certified or cashier's check payable to Macomb Intermediate School District for the sum of not less than five (5%) of the bid amount. All bids must be accompanied by a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationship that exists between the Owner (bidder) or any employee of the bidder and any member of the MISD School Board, Administration or Staff. Bids received without a bidder's bond, certified or cashier's check, and a sworn and notarized statement of disclosure WILL BE GROUNDS FOR REJECTION. Macomb Intermediate School District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, in whole or in part, to waive any irregularities therein and accept that bid, which best serves Macomb Intermediate School District. If any person contemplating submitting a bid is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the Drawings, Specifications, or other Bidding Documents, he must notify the Architect/Engineer through Wakely Associates Inc.-Attn: Brian J. Smilnak, AIA. Fax: 586-573- 0822 Email: bsmilnak@wakelyaia.com with written request for an interpretation thereof. If such an interpretation is not requested, the bids will be presumed to be based upon the interpretation and directions given by Wakely Associates Inc. after Contract award, in accordance with provisions of the Contract. Neither the Owner nor the Architect/Engineer will be responsible for any verbal explanations or interpretations of the Bidding Documents. Every request for such interpretation should be in writing, addressed to Wakely Associates Inc. Attn: Brian J. Smilnak, AIA at this office, and to be given consideration, must be received at least five (5) business days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. Any and all such interpretations, and any supplemental instructions will be in the form of written addenda to the Bidding Documents which, if issued, will be mailed to all prospective bidders (at the respective address furnished for such purposes) prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. All addenda so issued shall become part of the Bidding Documents. The successful bidders securities will be retained until they have signed the Contract and furnished the required payment and performance bonds. The Owner reserves the right to retain the security of the next two lowest bidders for each contract until the lowest bidders enter into contract, or until sixty (60) days after the bid opening, whichever is the shorter. All other bid security will be returned as soon as practicable. If any bidder refuses to enter into a Contract, the Owner will retain his Bid Security as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty. The Owner and Architect reserve the right to require of bidders tentatively selected for consideration in the awarding of the Contract, a list of the subcontractors whom the Contractor intends to employ. The Owner reserves the right to disapprove the use of any proposed subcontractor, and in such event, the bidder submitting such subcontractor shall submit another such subcontractor in like manner within the time specified by the Owner. The Owner reserves the right to reject any bid if such information required by the Owner is not submitted as above indicated.
